COFFEE PRINCE

(^_^) SYNOPSIS (^_^)

Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the cocky son of a very rich family that owns a food corporation. He has never had a job and doesn't care for responsibility. Han Kyul is hung up on his first crush, Han Yoo Joo (Chae Jung Ahn), and certainly doesn't want to get married despite his family's requests. On the other hand, Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is a 24-year-old tomboy who is often mistaken for a guy. She takes up every job possible—Taekwondo teacher, waitress, food deliverer, etc.—and has the responsibility of taking care of her mother, who has trouble not spending money, and younger sister.

When Han Kyul and Eun Chan meet, he, not knowing that she is actually a girl, decides to hire Eun Chan to pretend to be his gay lover so that he can escape the blind dates arranged by his grandmother.
Meanwhile, Han Kyul's cousin, Choi Han Seong (Lee Sun Gyun), is an established music producer and his ex-girlfriend, Han Yoo Joo, is a famous artist who studied in New York. The two were lovers for about 8 years, but their relationship ended when Yoo Joo left Han Seong for another man. Two years after they separate, their paths cross again when Yoo Joo returns to Seoul. Han Seong is initially angry at her, but he succumbs to his lingering feelings and they start to date again.
After getting an ultimatum from his grandmother, Han Kyul takes over a rundown old coffee shop, later renamed Coffee Prince, to prove his ability, both to his grandmother and to Yoo Joo.

In order to attract female customers, he only hires good-looking male employees. Eun Chan, desperate for money, continues to hide her gender to get a job at Coffee Prince.
Eun Chan has also becomes friends with Han Seong, and she is initially attracted to him because of his kindness. Han Seong also enjoys spending time with her, and an impulsive kiss that he gives her causes him and Yoo Joo to break up for a short time.
Soon, feelings start to develop between Eun Chan and Han Kyul. Because he's unaware that Eun Chan is a woman, Han Kyul starts to question his sexuality and is thrown in turmoil. When he discovers her secret, he feels hurt and betrayed. However, he eventually forgives her and they begin to date. They face strong opposition from his family due to her family’s lower status, but when Han Kyul’s grandmother meets Eun Chan, she is impressed by her independence and ambition. She helps pay for Eun Chan to study in Italy to become a barista. After two years of a long-distance relationship, a more stylish Eun Chan returns to Korea and Han Kyul.
